1. Change at quarterback
UND will see a first-time starter at quarterback against Indiana State.
Brady Allen, a 6-foot-6, 225-pound redshirt junior, will start at quarterback for the Sycamores after Elijah Owens suffered an injury against Valparaiso last Saturday.
According to ISU’s game notes for the UND matchup, Owens is “expected to miss extended time.”
Owens has 17 starts across the last four seasons. He was 60-for-97 passing for 788 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions this season.
Allen, a 4-star recruit out of Fort Branch, Ind., attended Purdue (2022) and Louisville (2023-25) before transferring to Indiana State this spring.
At Louisville, Allen’s longest action was going 6-for-9 for 69 yards and a touchdown against Eastern Kentucky.
Allen threw for 11,918 yards in high school, ranking second all-time in the state of Indiana. He was the 2021 Mr. Football award winner.
